Bob knew. How could he not? He just...wished he had realised how bad it was.

It happened on a Friday.

It was as quiet in the tower as it could get. No missions, no debriefs. Not much to do.

He was looking for you. Wanted to spend time with you, like he always did.

So, first, he asked Yelena. "Hey. Do you know where she is?" Yelena shrugged. "No. Sorry. Haven't seen her since the morning."

He'd been texting you. Calling you. And you'd seen it. Just...couldn't bring yourself to reply.

Now, he was starting to panic.

He barged into John's room next. "Where is she? Where is she, do you know where she is?" And John grumpily told her of course he didn't fucking know where she was.

He tried Bucky, and Ava, and even Alexei. No one knew. Fuck.

Bob ran into your room. Slamming the door open. You weren't in bed like you usually were. God, please. No.

"Hey!" Shouting. "Hey! Where are you?! Where are you?!" He tried to ignore the voice of the Void in his head - which was whispering horrible scenarios to him.
